Would be an instant starter on the hopeless and talentless packers defense.

Coaches know how important they are, and how hard it is to find good ones. Look at the Seahawks Heath Farwell — still playing special teams after about a dozen years in the league.

Brinkley and Deen provide good depth and special teams play. Good signings for what they will be doing.

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:02:42 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2247574#comment-3209622We are resigning these special teams players because they have noticeably gotten better each year they’ve been in the league. To have undrafted free agents getting multiple contracts means they are progressing and doing what we ask of them. The Vikings mean business this year. Boom shakalaka.

He does not know how to evaluate young talent! This defense will be shredded again within the division! Not insulting. Not joking. Being serious.

Yep, the Vikings are signing the best of the best this offseason. I would keep my appointment with Jameel McLain as well if that’s what is starting in Minnesota. Of course, they are always good for a laugh.
